Information for lapsed members of FSRH

If your membership has lapsed and you would like to re-join FSRH past the 31 March cut-off date for the current membership year or after one or more years, you will be required to pay back your 'missing' years to ensure you have continuous membership which is required for recertifying your primary qualification.

FSRH Council believes that membership of the FSRH – and therefore access to the latest clinical guidance, standards, Journal, CPD questions and regular updates – is an important part of the membership and recertification process. The rules surrounding back payment of subscriptions were tightened up in 2015 by FSRH Council. FSRH is a registered charity and is able to provide its services only through the payment of membership subscriptions.

Get in touch to discuss how we can reinstate your membership. 

There are number of circumstances that might mean you are entitled to a reduced subscription rate. For instance, if you:

• are a current or lapsed FSRH member on maternity, paternity and adoption leave
• are a current or lapsed FSRH member and have an income annually of £23,000 or less
• are a current or lapsed FSRH member and you have a long-term illness.

To claim your reduced subscription rate for 2022, you can fill in this online form, we will be in touch with you within 3 working days to confirm your reduced rate and to advise you on how to pay. If you wish to claim a reduced subscription for previous years (2021/2020/2019/2018/2017) please contact us to let us know.

Reduced Fee amounts for 2022 (From 1 January 2022)

Membership Category	Full Membership Rate 2022	Reduced Membership Rate	Refund (difference)

If you are an existing member and have retired or are about to retire from your SRH position, you may be interested to know that we offer a retired membership option. The membership benefits are slightly different in that you would no longer have access to the members' evidence request service or receive free recertification of your qualifications. However, you would continue to receive our regular membership e-newsletters, have full access to 'My FSRH' and continue to receive our BMJ SRH.

Contact us for more information about changing to a retired membership. 

 

If you forgotten to pay your 2021 membership subscription, the only option to pay this now is via bank  transfer or via phone*.

You can pay your 2021 membership subscription via a direct bank transfer. Please ensure you enter your membership number/ID as the reference, otherwise we cannot track your payment to add it to your membership record.

Or, we can take payment over the phone to reinstate your benefits. Please note this method takes a few minutes as we need to enter your data into our payment portal. You can contact us. 

*You have until late November 2021 to pay by BACS or by phone, after that we will notify you that your membership has lapsed and you will be liable to back-pay membership fees if you wish to re-join FSRH. We are currently in our annual renewals period where we ask our members to renew their subscription, this means we are taking payment for the 2022 subscription year at the moment (Nov 2021-Mar 2022). Between Nov 2021 and Mar 2022 both your 2021 and your 2022 subscription are due for payment. The fees for both years are given above.

Recertification is free to current FSRH members. Recertification is one of our member benefits and supports you professionally in a number of ways.

It helps you to:

• demonstrate the learning outcomes achieved from your qualification(s) have been maintained
• show you have the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour needed to provide safe and effective sexual and reproductive health care (SRH)
• meet the requirements of commissioners, who often require clinicians to have certified qualifications

If your membership has lapsed and you would like to re-join FSRH past the 31 March cut-off date for the current membership year or after one or more years, you will be required to pay back your 'missing' years to ensure you have continuous membership which is required for recertifying your primary qualification.

You can easily do this by contacting us. We can take payment by phone using a debit or credit card, it will take a few minutes to do this for you.

You can also pay for a one-off recertification for Letters of Competence qualification. This is £400 per LoC. This option is not available for Diploma recertification. You can pay your Diploma membership back fees by telephone on the above number.
